Not to be missed on Crave





Crave does not leave its place, thanks to its well-stocked catalog. Here are some suggestions shared by our journalists.


Father of 100 children

Father of 100 children sometimes errs excessively in its way of wanting to dramatize journalistic work (the manner is close to that of the show I), but the investigation seems thorough and brings to light a little-known reality. It also shows the risks of this parallel world where women sometimes put themselves in danger physically and emotionally, for lack of a valid alternative solution in their eyes.

Alexandre Vigneault

Slush heart





Certainly, the narrative framework of Slush heart, the highly anticipated film by Mariloup Wolfe inspired by the novel of the same name (written by Sarah-Maude Beauchesne who wrote the screenplay here), is a little thin. Predictable, we agree. But not skinny either. It must be said that the exchanges always ring true, with a well-placed hint of feminism and “wokism” here and there. The chemistry between the friends (Salma Serraji and Vivi-Anne Riel) is also contagious. And what can we say about the moral on the importance of friendship and sisterhood, which we would all be crazy to ignore.

Silvia Galipeau

BlackBerry





BlackBerry stretches at the end, but remains a very pleasant film which delights us with its intelligence, its humor and its sincerity.

Pascal LeBlanc

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish





Despite the darker nature of the story, the offbeat humor brings out bursts of laughter, between a life lesson delivered by the optimist Perrito (Harvey Guillén) and a magnificently animated fight scene. This fireworks display Puss in Boots: The Last Wish superbly sets the table for the return of Shrek and our trio offriends in a fifth opus.

Valérie Simard

My crime





Beyond the well-crafted lines and impeccable artistic direction, My crime stands out above all thanks to its performers. Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Rebecca Marder, magnificent, are here surrounded by big names who, visibly, delight in what they have to say and do.

Jules in the land of Asha





The green forest seems almost magical through the lens of Sophie Farkas Bolla, who is making her first feature film here. An impression amplified by the joyful music which accompanies the young adventurers during their journey punctuated by astonishing events, like this night lit by fireflies. But beyond the beauty of nature, it is above all that of childhood that the filmmaker brilliantly succeeds in highlighting.

Véronique Larocque

John Wick: Chapter 4





Even after dozens of shooting scenes and fights with every weapon imaginable, the fluidity of the choreography and the elegance of the stunts impress us in John Wick. It is also surprising to what extent this fourth part continues to evolve in this regard.

Pascal LeBlanc

The trade unionist





Orchestrating a thriller with a tense climate, Jean-Paul Salomé offers an effective film, whose impact stems in particular from the authentic character of the story. Continuing an association started with The mumwhose tone was much lighter, Jean-Paul Salomé once again offers Isabelle Huppert – obviously perfect – the opportunity to explore a rarer facet of her personality as an actress.

Breathe in breathe out





We don’t get bored for a second watching each of the 30-minute episodes ofBreathe in breathe out. The action progresses quickly, the jokes follow one another at a brisk pace and our detective brain is busy unmasking the killer. As in One way ticket, but in a bogus version.

Hugo Dumas

You can live forever





Although the film is fiction, the fact that Sarah Watts herself grew up lesbian in a community of Jehovah’s Witnesses surely has its share of merit for this empathetic and conscientious scenario. You Can Live Forever is a successful first effort that makes us eager to discover what Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky will offer us in the future.

Audrey-Anne Blais

Spoiler





Borders





Borders takes the form of a thriller nourished by true anecdotes that occurred in the filmmaker’s family and stands out thanks to this way of exploring the notion of territory in all its forms, physical and mental. Marked by a remarkable performance by Pascale Bussières, who plays here one of her most beautiful roles, Borders adds a beautiful stone to the singular work that Guy Édoin is building.
